The FCC never entertained branding disputes. At one time they might have had rules on similar call signs (not sure), but no longer. If Q102 is service-marked they may have a case with the trade mark/patent office, but it would probably be a weak case.
Other examples of non co-owned radio stations with similar call signs: WPHI / WPHT, WBEB/WBEN-FM (In Boston then WMKK / WTKK, in Wilkes-Barre / Scranton all these combinations existed simultaneously, and none were co owned: WARM/WARD, WILK/WICK, and three 'Power' stations: Power 106 WHLM, Power 92 WMJW, Power 93.5 WSBG (all at the same time).

Just to add to previous "branding" comments, in the PPM world, call letters don't have the importance for branding they had when listeners had to remember to write them in the diary for the station to get credit. Now all that matters is that the PPM device hears the codes and records them.
Some PPM market stations now almost bury their call letters in quick legal IDs at the top of the hour, and nobody in the audience but radio geeks have a clue as to what they are.
According to the 1069 website at this hour where there is a big welcome message. The station will be News, Weather and traffic in the morning with Larry Mendte and Al Gardner as hosts. Traffic and weather every 10 Minutes and traffic alerts when they happen through the morning rush.
For the rest of the day it will be Sean Hannity and then Glen Beck. The message has the title:
LIVE SMART -- NEWS TALK with the line Welome to the Fortress of Free Speech.... the Delaware Valley's new home for Sean Hannity and Glen Beck.
We're eager to hear your ideas on what you'd like to hear on the station as we continue to fill out our lineup. Share your thoughts with us at [email protected].
Sounds like they are still undecided as to the rest of the lineup and want to hear some feedback. Do listeners want someone other than Rush in the afternoon ? Maybe they might do News during afternoon Rush Hours Will have to wait and see. I guess the format will be News/Talk. Hannity is still on the Streem at this hour.

Do listeners want someone other than Rush in the afternoon ?
Without a doubt, it will be Rush in the early afternoons. They just have to let Rush's contract with WPHT expire. IIRC, that is sometime next month. News, Beck, Rush, Hannity during the day. Mark Levin, might be next in the evening, depending on his WNTP contract.

3 hours of "The Great One" live 6-9pm would be nice.
While my comments certainly do not speak for every employee at any particular radio company, I can most assuredly tell you that most requests for audience feedback are NOT because the company is undecided regarding programming decisions or direction. The requests for feedback are two-fold: First, to build good-will between the station and the audience (People tend to fall for that "we care what you think" crap that often drips from corporate); and Second, to gauge the potential audience in an unofficial way (like an informal Arbitron rating). If listeners want to hear someone other than Rush Limbaugh, but Limbaugh becomes available, Limbaugh is going on the station. This will be a politicially conservative news/talk station, and like him or not, he is the face of conservative talk radio.jvn said:We're eager to hear your ideas on what you'd like to hear on the station as we continue to fill out our lineup.

Re: Mornings with Mendte at WWIQ!
They are floundering because they dumped the #2 and #3 highest rated shows in the country last year to stroke that jerk, Smercy's ego.
